I haven't seen it yet just waiting for the highlights,but how can it take so long to make a decision,makes VAR look efficient in contrast,

The longer it's taking mate, makes me think they are going to take the result away from Max.

Agreed. And a crying shame.

You have to think they must have seen something nobody else saw,Formula One needs to be careful,if they sanitise the sport too much it will become like football where overtaking is similar to tackling and frowned upon.

And lets be honest Leclerc has had his share of incidents this season.

Finally no action against Verstappen,they took their time though.

They did but why did it take 3/4 hours to make a decision,especially if they saw it as a racing incident,suggests that the decision may not have been unanimous.

If they had been so fussy back in Schumacer's day he would'nt have won half the races he did.

I notice Max gives him room the first time he tries, yet bangs into him the next lap when he knows he needs to pass him.

As long as the stewards are consistent with allowing you to t**t someone out of the way on the final few laps in future, I'll be OK with it.

Imagine it the other way round though... Christian Horner would be under a 10 foot flood of salty tears and threatening to leave F1.

I hope he remembers what he is defending when it happens to him.
